Hmm, if you're going to Oxford you should definitely check out the Cotswalds too if you have enough time! Also, as /u/super_james said the Bodleian Library is pretty cool. As far as other things...

Also, as /u/super_james said the Bodleian Library is pretty cool. As far as other things go there are a few museums you can see, like the Ashmoleum (it's the oldest museum in the UK!). The botanical gardens are nice from what I remember too. Oxford is a pretty small Town-City so it's easy enough to see most of it in a day or two.
In London, the British museum is worth checking out, as well as the Science + Natural History museums in Kensington (not far from central, ~20 minutes). As for places to go out, Close to central (Victoria) I'd check out Knightsbridge/Belgravia for a drink since it's very close.
I'd also recommend Kensington (Portobello Road is nice to sit down for a bite to eat and a bit of shopping if you're inclined), Camden for the same reason too; it's nice to chill by the canals.
If you're into nightlife (stay away from Chelsea unless you want to pay £10+ a drink :p) and want to go to find some music, I highly recommend checking out stuff first! London is a busy place ;-)
As a Brit, I'd not bother with all the really touristic stuff like Stonehenge (you can drive past it) as they're usually really busy or expensive. The London Eye (never really appealed to me, plus it's expensive from what I remember. If you want a really good view of London you can go up the Shard for a bite to eat at The Duck and Waffle).
Just make sure that if you go down South-west way (Cornwall) to check out the Eden Project! Bath is beautiful too. That's all I can think of off the top of my head ;-)
